About Silver Wines

Benjamin SilverWho would have guessed that a kid from Amherst, Massachusetts, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Sciences (Pre-Veterinary) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Italian from the University of Massachusetts, would end up in Santa Barbara County as an up-and-coming winemaker? Benjamin Silver did just that after catching the wine bug in 1993 at a summer job at Chicama Vineyards on Martha’s Vineyard.

After graduating from college in 1994, Benjamin used his science background to land a harvest intern Lab Technician position with winemaker Daniel Gehrs at Zaca Mesa Winery in Santa Barbara County. After harvest, the winery offered him a full-time position as the winemaker's assistant. “Dan took me under his wing as an apprentice winemaker and nurtured my passion for viticulture and winemaking” explained Benjamin. Upon Gehrs’ departure in 1998, Benjamin took over Zaca Mesa’s winemaking helm.

Starting in 1996, Benjamin began to experiment with small quantities of Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Nebbiolo. This experimentation laid the foundation for the eventual formation of his Silver label. He left Zaca Mesa in August 2000 to launch his own label, while also taking over the winemaking program & vineyard re-development for the owner of White Hawk Vineyard.

Silver Wines currently produces small bottlings of: Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Nebbiolo, and two proprietary blends: Saviezza & I Tre Figli. Starting in 2014 there will be a new Bordelais styled blend. All grapes are sourced from Santa Barbara County.

Benjamin sums up his winemaking philosophy: “For vineyard designated wines, I strive to focus on protecting a vineyard's unique personality stamp. The vineyard's site specific mesoclimate, influencing the constant: grape vines growing in the same soil over many years. For blends, it's all about balance or the marriage of different parts coming together to become a great Silver styled wine. That’s what makes winemaking exciting!”

Thank you!

I was extremely happy with Sammy's limo service in Santa Barbara. They took great care of us from the time they picked us up to the very minute they dropped us off. We had an amazing time in Santa Ynez and owe it to these limo pros for making it possible. We will be using them again in the near future, guaranteed!
